So today i accidentally unplugged my ps4 while playing with my dog. And when i turn it back on it basically reset itself, and my profile was deleted. Now everything seems to be ok. But i am curious why did it do this/what happened? 

I needed to reset my modem, and I simply pressed the surge protector button to turn off everything, but I realized my PS4 was on Stand by, and I thought it was ok since when I press that button on the surge protector with PS3, PS2 and my TV being on stand by with that red LED light nothing really happens. However, when I turned it on there was this massage that said that it had been "turned off improperly" and that unplugging it might cause data loss or DAMAGE? I wasn't saving or downloading anything and everything was fine when I turned it back on. I am just wondering if I caused any damage that I couldn't see? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

apparently its how PS4 handles possible data corruption.
